Re: Bell bemoans dwindling attendances
The Supporters Club website carries a forum where OSC related matters are discussed and 'kind of' decided on. There are numerous forums/categories on there, some of which carry full access to the public or members and some that don't. You can join in with discussion on there at any point and get involved with the organisation of anything.
The meetings are there mainly for 'Officialness' that has to be in order to be an organisation such as we are - without it we would never have got the lottery grants etc. But we do tend to discuss things pre and post match and via the website. At that point we have an idea before meetings of what people are interested in or not so we save a bit more time that way.
As of next season we should be back to where we were 10 months ago with regards to ideas towards fundraisers. This was agreed to be pretty much shelved this year to concentrate efforts towards the Exhibition.
We also put out a few requests per season for help with handing out flyers at matches, which is usually largely ignored other than three or four whom we depend on every time (thanks guys/gals). These can be anything from Player of the Year voting slips (still need a couple of names for the Barnet match) to information sheets or membership renewal forms.
If people are the strictly hands off types then they can get involved by simply joining. Each season carries its own term so its rather late for this year. But by next season (full details of when will on here when applicable) we will have new cards and badges available.
